What is one thing....

You have never done but would like to do in your life to feel 'complete?' Hmm lets make it easier. What are three things? They don't have to be sexual lol for once! But things you'd like to experience before you become dust one day. We are all married and most of us want kids though not all, so lets try not to use those.

I will go first.

1. Skydiving. I really REALLY want to do this because I am a TOTAL chickenshit and will probably have to be shoved out lmao, but DH is certified and its an experience I really want to have to say I DID IT!

2. Learn to fly a plane: Why when I cant even drive a car you aks? Well I love to fly-as a passenger and I think beign able to pilot a small craft would just be an experience.

3. Tour Spain and Italy but REALLy tour it: Like to fidn the roots and history. DH is Italian but has no sense of culture. I know my Puerto Rican roots pretty well but my mom's family are more prevalently 'spaniard' in the sense of their appearance (blue eyed blondes yep they are lol-Im the negrita!) and I want to just see what its like and see if I can hone both my Italian and my Spanish.

Re: What is one thing....

This is tough because you said to leave the 'kid thing' out of it!! All I've evr wanted my whole life was to get married and have children. With that I'll go ahead with this....

1. TRAVEL- Italy, Hawaii, Australia, Alaska, back to South Africa ( I had a horrible trip the 1st time- went with a bunch of @ssholes, would like to go with DH and do it right this time)

2. Great White shark diving in Australia or South Africa

3. Croos Country Road Trip with my family (in a RV)

Live in a foreign country

I've been to every state at least once! I highly recommend traveling around the US...such diverse landscape and people. Truly amazing experiences

Re: What is one thing....

i would love to sing in front of people. i can give violin recitals without a problem, but i can't get on stage and sing! i don't really get it

we'd also love to travel all over the place! we're hoping to take a looooooong trip after DH gets his PhD - either driving all over the US, or touring Europe. It's still at least 2 yrs away, but we're already thinking about it.

other than that, i'd say i'm lucky, my life's pretty complete

Jenn, I love 'Live Like You Were Dying' (Tim McGraw, by the way). It got me through a really rough time in my life-I try to think of it as my theme song :)

me too!

Re: What is one thing....

I want to see/maybe live in Italy for a while!!!!!

Learn to speak Italian. Not just madonna mi!, stai zitta!, basta!, etc. It's my grandmother's first language and she lives right down the road, but Ive only picked up on one liners here and there.

I want to do missionary work in other countries, spread the gospel where ppl haven't ever heard it.

I want to learn all the ins and outs of photography.

Re: What is one thing....

well, my list is a bit different.... becuase I've always traveled, and grew up spending summers with my family in germany... so I guess I already did the 'live in another country' thing...

This is an odd one considering I've always said 'I swear, THIS is my last class' (I've been in school (either full or part-time) almost continuously since 1990)..... but I want to go to culinary school.... a REALLY GOOD ONE.... maybe in NYC, maybe in France. I want them to teach me how to bake a proper loaf of bread, and polish up my knife skills

I'd also like to visit cooks illustrated headquarters in new england hey, you never know, they may actually want the input from a biochemist / foodie I can dream....
